With the kids definitely a little Mario Party Superstars and for myself Xenoblade 1. I am halfway through my second playthrough and I’m noticing the connections to XC2.
Basically I want to refresh my memory before I get into Xenoblade 3.
I finished Ni No Kuni II last weekend and so this week I’ve started Immortals Fenyx Uprising which is pretty entertaining. It serves as a good fix for my Zelda itch.
I know a lot of Switch owners will be on Pokémon Legends, but I’ll stick to what I started last week - Ni No Kuni 2. But to the rest of you, enjoy ‘catching them all’!
Thronebreaker Witcher Tales - after finishing Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine DLC, I couldn’t let myself leave this world just yet. Plus I got it on sale a couple of weeks back.
@Inaroomalone and in Central and Eastern Europe, the Switch is the first time Nintendo have really tried to market themselves.
I’m currently living in Poland and many people don’t know what a DS or SNES is. There was never any real Nintendo presence until the Switch released.
It will take time to build the Nintendo brand here, and they are doing a good, job (lots of adverts, physical presence in shops) but this is still Xbox and PC gaming country.
@moodycat it’s a shame you didn’t like LM3. I have played all three games and I will admit I do enjoy the games. And whilst I am no game designer, the bad controls I think are deliberate - I personally appreciate the charm it gives to Luigi as a character.
Of course I completely respect that this unique ‘charm’ is not for everyone and I do get the frustration you encountered. But for me it was part of the joy of the game.
Completed the main story last year and loved it. Now I’ve started the DLC Heart of Stone. It looks like I will be spending a lot of hours back in this game!
Finished Paper Mario last week. Good game. Not great but enjoyable.
As it’s October I’ve decided to become a cliche player - I’m replaying Luigi’s Mansion. One thing that impresses me is Gooigi - a genius in-game mechanic.
Regarding Dread, it’s not my cup of tea but I’m happy for the Metroid fans out there. The more variety on Switch the better!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 14th)
Definitely as much Bayonetta 3 as I can.
I’ve also started Hyrule Warriors on my 3DS. It’s been nice to pick up the old handheld after such a long time.
Re: Return To Monkey Island Sets Sail For Physical Release
@RupeeClock No problems with no refunds as long as the order is fulfilled. Thanks for the advice.
Re: Return To Monkey Island Sets Sail For Physical Release
I’ll try to order physical but I can see this selling out fast so it looks like I’ll have to buy this digitally.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 7th)
Playing through Bayonetta 3 and very much loving it!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 31st)
Bayonetta 3. Got it for Xmas and I’m absolutely loving it. I still have no idea about the story, all I know is that it’s over the top fun!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 17th)
A replay of Link’s Awakening. Kind of my yearly comfort food.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 26th)
Definitely Mariokart 8 with the kids. I think I will get close to the end of LA Noire too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 19th)
There will be a lot of Mariokart today with the family. Got a Zelda themed controller and the kids are very excited to use it.
For me, I’ll plug through LA Noire. I’ve ordered Bayonetta 3, so I want to get through as much if LA Noire as possible before Bayo arrives.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 15th)
We got a secondnhand copy of MK8 so will play that with the kids this weekend.
For myself I will get back into LA Noire. I’ve only just started but I hope to sink my teeth into this game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 8th)
Just finished Xenoblade 1 (again) and it was beautiful with the memories of XC2 still fresh in my mind.
Now playing LA Noire - bought this on a whim, let’s see if it’s any good.
Re: Review: Return To Monkey Island - An Impeccable Encore For An Adventure Gaming Icon
Is there a physical release coming out?
Either way I will definitely get this!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 17th)
I’ll plough through a good bit of Xenoblade 1 thise weekend. I am loving this replay, and it is getting me hyped for XC3.
Might also dip into Mario 3D World with the family.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 10th)
Still finishing off my Xenoblade 1 replay - I’m in the ‘final act’ along with some Just Dance with the kids.
@SugarKane - keep in with XC2 the payoff at the end is worth it!

Re: Bayonetta 3 Trailer Confirms Launch For This October
Buying it. Defo.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 2nd)
A lot of Mario Party Superstar with the kids. For myself I should finish Immortals Fenyx Rising this weekend.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 11th)
I got to the credits in Mario 3D World which was pretty good - it was a fun game and the co-op mode is crazy when with family.
I will probably concentrate on Fenyx Immortals Rising this weekend - I want to finish it before Xenoblade 3 comes out next month.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Really Wants You To Play Bayonetta 1 & 2 Before The Third Game
Personally loved the story of Bayonetta 1 & 2 and I’m pretty pumped for part 3. Can’t wait to see where they take the character.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 4th)
@Lgndk11r what’s the performance like of Ezio collection on Switch?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 4th)
I will be continuing with Fenyx Immortals Rising and maybe get some Just Dance in with the family.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 28th)
With the kids Just Dance.
For myself Mario 3D World - should finish it this weekend or the next and some Immortals Fenyx Rising.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 30th)
I finished Ni No Kuni II last weekend and so this week I’ve started Immortals Fenyx Uprising which is pretty entertaining. It serves as a good fix for my Zelda itch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 23rd)
Just finished Ni No Kuni II - an enjoyable game. Now will start Immortals Fenyx Uprising.
Re: The SNES Classic Is The UK's King Of The Micro-Consoles
@arnold337 use a Wii. They were backwards compatible with the GCN. They have ports for the controllers too.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Gets A Release Date, And It's Sooner Than You Think
@AtlanteanMan turn the in-game voice volume to zero. No more battle cries.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Gets A Release Date, And It's Sooner Than You Think
My summer is now complete!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 16th)
Hopefully I’ll get to finish Ni No Kuni II this weekend.
Re: Video: Looking Back On 2021's Best Nintendo Switch Games
I only got Ni No Kuni II and Zelda. Last year was all about going through Xenoblade 2 and Torna.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 5th)
Still playing through Ni No Kuni II and loving it at the moment.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 29th)
I know a lot of Switch owners will be on Pokémon Legends, but I’ll stick to what I started last week - Ni No Kuni 2. But to the rest of you, enjoy ‘catching them all’!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 22nd)
I bought Ni No Kuni 2, and started that in the week, so I’ll be blasting through that this weekend.
I really enjoyed the first game and (so far) the story is not as captivating as that one, I am actually enjoying the combat.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 15th)
Skyrim. Bought it second-hand for my Switch and started it. Pretty enjoyable.
Re: Sakurai Believes He Was Able To "Fully Complete" Iwata's Final Mission
@aaronsullivan the hope for Kid Icarus 4 is something I dream about all the time!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 18th)
Thronebreaker Witcher Tales on my Switch.
With the premiere of Witcher season 2 this weekend I am kind of overdosing in Geralt 🤨
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 11th)
Thronebreaker Witcher Tales - after finishing Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine DLC, I couldn’t let myself leave this world just yet. Plus I got it on sale a couple of weeks back.
Re: Switch Just Enjoyed Its Best-Ever Hardware And Software Sales Week Across Europe
@Poco_Lypso but the presence is so much better than before the Switch days.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 4th)
I’m going to try and finish the Blood and Wine DLC for the Witcher and then that will be it for that incredible game.
(Except for maybe the odd round of Gwent.)
Re: Rockstar Has Released Its First Update For The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy
@ozwally agreed. I do want to get this but the botched release is pushing me towards ‘buy later at a discount.’
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 13th)
Still doing Witcher’s expansion pack, Blood and Wine. Might finish it this weekend but thoroughly enjoying it!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 6th)
I’ll finish off the Heart of Stone expansion to Witcher 3 this weekend. Then probably start Blood and Wine straight away.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 30th)
Still Witcher 3 on Switch. At the moment plowing though the first DLC - Heart of Stone. I think it’s a suitable game for Halloween.
Re: Netflix's Witcher Season 2 Trailer Has War, Magic, Yennefer, Ciri, And An Evil House
I’m playing through the DLC on Switch and I’m a fan of the series so looking forward to season 2.

I’m back to playing Switcher.
Completed the main story last year and loved it. Now I’ve started the DLC Heart of Stone. It looks like I will be spending a lot of hours back in this game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 9th)

Re: It Seems Masahiro Sakurai Will Be Ending His Famitsu Columns Very Soon
Mr Sakurai deserves a break after all the work he has put into Smash and the other games he has made.
And if he retires then ‘thank you’ for all the great gaming moments he has given us.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 25th)
Still plugging away at Paper Mario. As I have said previously, an enjoyable little game and I think I’m nearing the end of it.
Re: Talking Point: A Nintendo Direct With Something For Everyone, And Quite A Few Surprises
It wasn’t a direct for me (except Bayonetta 3) but I recognise that this is a strong lineup the will make many people happy.
Re: PlatinumGames' Hideki Kamiya: Bayonetta 3 Will 'Exceed All Your Expectations'
Day 1 purchase for me. And I’m sure Bayo 3 will be worth the wait!
